The winger tuned central midfielder, who maintained his record of scoring in every Premier League season by netting against Fulham last week, is expected to extend his one-year rolling deal once again.Giggs secured a rolling deal when he was 30 and now at 38 he is ready to sign on the dotted line once again, with Sir Alex delighted to retain the Welshman’s services.The Old Trafford manager said: ‘There is no evidence at this moment in time that his energy, stamina or speed are decreasing.’In fact, it’s exactly the same as it was the last two or three years. It’s amazing.’Although Giggs continues to be a regular starter at United, Sir Alex has revealed he is hopeful Michael Carrick will fill the void in his side’s midfield left by the retirement of Paul Scholes.

Carrick returned to form against QPR, when he scored a superb solo goal after a driving run, and Sir Alex believes now is the time for the former Tottenham man to become pivotal in the first team.

While Sir Alex is keen for Carrick to run his midfield, he recently said that the club will get their cheque book out should a world class player become available in January.
